Authorities said 20 passengers were on the boat who were going to attend a memorial service.

Sixteen people were rescued.

The tragedy claimed the lives of 79-year-old Clifford Boisa and 58-year-old Tondra Madruga. A dog also died in the tragic sinking.

"I love Clifford with all my heart. The loss of him is a crushing anguish." A Northern California family is grieving the loss of one loved one and holding onto memories of three others after the U.S. Coast Guard suspended its search Wednesday for survivors.
